A rear locker will drive both of your rear wheels at the same speed when you have the locker engaged. This means that it won't matter if one of your wheels is in the air or in slick mud, both wheels will always turn at the same speed when the diff is locked. This means you will have tons more traction.
If I were you, I would invest in these things in this order:
1) Skid plates because if you don't get this first you will regret it
2) 1.5-3" lift because Sidekicks lack serious ground clearance
3) 29-31" tires because lifted rigs don't look right without tires, plus you get more ground clearance
4)Rock rails if you think you need them...depends on the trails around your area and how hard you want to beat that Kick
